ChinaV... You resurrected my plans. After communicating with 7-8 travel agencies in China over 2 months, I became highly disappointed. No one arrange tours to go on highway 219 though everyone is pushing to rent a motorbike. I am seeing a small ray of hope in this dark tunnel :-)
For license, what I have gathered so far is that as long you ar eona tourist visa, you can be granted a temporary chinese driving license from 30-60 days. This is arranged by travel agents and there is a probability of sitting for a written test which is translated in english.
Travellign illegally..undocumented and without proper permits is a definite NO NO for this route and I won't be doing that.
So, here is what I am doing.
1. Arrange enter/exit permits and documents required from a contact I made in Lhasa.
2. Apply for temporary chinese driving license.
3. Buy a motorbike which you suggested. BTW, whts the name of the bike that you suggested in above pic.
4. Crash course in motorbike maintenance.
Rest is all Maktub :-)
Ok, where can I find the motorbike you suggested and how did you got it registered and documented?
Cheers,
Imran
